Masons in Nova Scotia are overseen by the Grand Lodge of Nova Scotia, A.F. & A.M., composed of some 100 Lodges with a membership of nearly 6000 members. Lodges are organized into districts. Each are governed by the Grand Master, the Ruler of the Craft. He is represented by a District Deputy Grand Master who is elected and recommended by each District. Every Lodge is ruled and governed by a Master, Wardens and various other officers.

Regular meetings are held once a month, but some Lodges take time off during July & August or January & February each year. Be sure to check in each area to see when they are open. There are initiation fees and annual dues that are required from each member.
